most of the teams on the 'teams forum' should cover it for you...

M.Brown x2, Morgan, Wagner, Hartley, Bonner, Byrne, Broad, Francis, Tipungwutti are the guys being picked as placeholders

As far as rookies go....

Mitch Brown (Ess) - Played well last year for Sandi and was a top up player for Ess in the NAB Challenge last year

Bailey Rice (StK) - Tipped to go in the mid twenties but taken at pick 49 - due to Father/Son

What are peoples thoughts on Pittard? I think he should improve along with the power.

Early stages but currently have Houli, Yeo, Smith, J.Kolo, Aish, Brown (Ess)  - Adams,Collins
Had heater but now thinking I'll wait & c if he drops $$. I feel like J.Kolo could have a good year with Kelly having moved on he seems like a def starter each week off 1/2 back. Interested to hear thoughts on this & also whether ppl think Adcock will get games at the Doggies ?

Doggies picked up Adcock in the rookie draft.  Not sure whether they have a vacancy to promote.

yep still rookie listed, If he got promoted do u think u would get regular games or more likely just around for depth and to mentor the kids

Adcock a lock to get that

I'm starting to reconsider my position on Boyd.

The Doggies first 8 or so games are at Etihad, where he killed it last year. If he could go 105+ for those first few months of the season it could be a huge boost. Also the reason I'm starting Dahlhaus.

Just whether I can cover him for those few games he'll miss, and whether it's worth it for (hopefully) a big start.

Not an option I'm keen on.
Was probably my biggest mistake of 2015. When Simpson was out R6 for no apparent reason and with Pittard off to a flyer and talk in some quarters of the press as a possible AA I made the tradeto bring Pittard in. After about 4 games in my team I traded him out again. Simpson subsequently came back in R8 and scored 149...with rookies scoring well on my bench and just hanging onto Simpson I reckon I probably dropped 200 odd points in the time Pittard was in my team.
From R6 to season's end Pittard averaged 74.2 pts... I watched him closely over all that time and he is on my never again list.

Is doedee a good def rookie pick?

Not a good pick, has only been playing football for a couple of years, was in the Falcons B team at the start of 2015. A big project for the Crows.
